Yancey County has the highest average elevation of any county in
North Carolina, including within its boundaries 5 of the highest
peaks east of the Mississippi. Mt. Mitchell (highest point in the
eastern America) is 6,684 feet.
Location:
Yancey County is nestled in the diverse forests and lofty
mountains of western North Carolina. The county shares its
northwestern Appalachian Mountain Ridge with Johnson County,
Tennessee. The scenic Blue Ridge Parkway outlines Yancey's
southeastern boundary. The county has an average elevation of
2,817 feet, which is the highest in the state. Burnsville is about
35 miles northeast of Asheville, the largest western city in the
state. Charlotte, the states largest metropolis of about 400,000
people, lies about 120 miles southeast of the county. Johnson
City, Tennessee lies about 60 miles to the west. The county's
major east-west thoroughfare is U.S. 19, while Highway 226 skirts
its northeastern border.
Climate:
Summer mornings in the county can be humid, creating a dreamy haze
across the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Summertime highs
usually peak in the mid-80s, while evening temperatures dip in to
the comfortable 50s. Average annual rainfall is 59 inches.
Children also delight in the winter snows which interrupt the
school schedule from time to time (snows range from less than an
inch to a foot or more).
Topography:
Land area is 311 square miles or 200,704 acres.
BURNSVILLE TO BEELOG, MT. MITCHELL TO MICAVILLE:
EXPLORING YANCEY COUNTY NC OFFERS RICH REWARDS
Significant scenery, historic hostelries, world
class glass-and berry baskets fashioned from the bark of tulip
poplars. Yancey County is home to all these and more. Log homes hug
hillsides. White frame farmhouses and weathered 'baccer' barns preside
over fertile valleys. Around every curve, across every expanse of
field and forest, Yancey County appeals to the eye, the ear, the
palate (and the palette).
Centrally located in the Western North Carolina
Mountains midway between Boone and Asheville, Yancey County is home to
Mt. Mitchell (at 6,684 feet, the highest mountain east of the
Mississippi) and 18 additional peaks with elevations exceeding 6,300
feet. Ridges and valleys carved over eons by the South Toe and Cane
rivers and their tributaries alternately reveal and conceal a
landscape rich in natural and agricultural resources.
Eight hundred years ago, the Cherokee tended
cornfields on the banks of the Cane and hunted elk amid the mountains'
towering virgin forests. The elk and Cherokee villages are gone, but
corn still grows in the rich bottomlands. Christmas tree plantations
of Fraser fir-a dominant species of the mountaintops' spruce/fir
forests-pattern sloping hillsides. Nurseries propagate pinkshell and
flame azalea and Catawba rhododendron that naturally ornament the
surrounding mountains' woodlands and balds.
Burnsville, Yancey's county seat, is its only
incorporated town, though the back roads are liberally sprinkled with
communities with picturesque names-among them Daybook, Egypt,
Micaville and Beelog. The town is organized around a central square,
and offers a pleasant mix of shops, galleries and restaurants, in
addition to a library and town and county government buildings. (The
old courthouse is now the town office.)
Burnsville is the kind of town that invites you to
park and take a stroll. Just off the square, on West Main St., a
Visitor Center that is home to the Yancey County/Burnsville Chamber of
Commerce occupies a restored service station. On a hill just above it,
the historic McElroy House (c. 1850) is home to the Rush Wray Museum
of Yancey County History. The house served as headquarters for the
western North Carolina home guard during much of the Civil War.
A copper statue of Capt. Otway Burns, a War of 1812
naval hero, dominates the square itself. Festivals and
celebrations-the Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair the first Friday and
Saturday in August, a 4th of July celebration, a summer evening
concert series and other special events-take place on and around the
square. Biggest event of the year is the Crafts Fair, now in its 50th
year, which attracts more than 255 craftspeople and thousands of
visitors annually.
The Parkway Playhouse, on the edge of town, offers
professional summer theatre musicals, comedies and serious dramas. Two
September events- Music in the Mountains Folk Festival, at Patience
Mullendore Park/ Campground on the banks of the South Toe, and an Old
Timey Days Fall Festival on the Square the last Saturday in
September-help Yancey celebrate its musical and rural roots.
Yancey is home to a number of world-renowned
craftspeople, like glass artists Rob Levin and Bill Bernstein. Potter
Pete McWhirter and his wife Kim carry on a family tradition in a small
shop and studio in Celo, in the South Toe Valley.
David Boone's woodcarving studio is tucked in the
Cane River Valley at Pensacola. The Boone name has long been
associated with Yancey crafts, as multiple generations of blacksmith
Boones operated a famous forge in Burnsville in the 19th and 20th
centuries. Ninety-year-old Luther Thomas who learned to make brooms
and bark baskets as a boy-and attained celebrity as an interview
subject and friend of the late Charles Kuralt-has been named a North
Carolina State Living Treasure. He can often be found in his daughter
Maphra Shehan's shop, Sisters Three and Me, on West Main St.
Toe River Crafts, a coop in Celo, and the galleries
in and around Burnsville showcase the best of local and regional
crafts.
Yancey's outdoor recreational opportunities run the
gamut from hiking, camping and tubing, to fishing, hunting, horseback
riding and golf. The towering Black Mountains, with Mt. Mitchell as
their centerpiece, provide a magnificent backdrop. If you're seeking
an extended away-from-it-all, take an overnight hike on the
Appalachian Trail, which roughly follows Yancey's northern border from
the Nolichucky River to Big Bald, or explore the network of trails in
the Blacks.
Those who prefer to reach their scenery by an easier
route can access the Blue Ridge Parkway at Buck Creek Gap-the Parkway
traces the county's southern boundary-or explore Yancey's picturesque
back roads. Within an easy drive are famous out-of-county attractions
from Asheville's Biltmore Estate and NC Arboretum to Grandfather
Mountain and Linville Falls. The county offers all types of
accommodations-in-town and rural bed-and-breakfasts, secluded mountain
cabins, gracious inns, primitive (or not-so-primitive) campsites, a
dude ranch and an elegant spa.
